Theme Site Themes / Re: GamingX

Last post by TwitchisMental - Yesterday at 05:42:19 PM

I love the theme. Already made some modification to fit our community a bit better.
But after 3 hours of messing aroudn with the theme, I can not find whatever color I have to change to remove this green highlight/background in a new post.

This color is set by the --window_target_bg_color variable. It will need to be adjusted for each color variant.  Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you so much!

You're very welcome.

Are the db credentials correct?

After restoring from backup to build your test environment, did you run repair_settings.php?

Did you have a fully working test environment after restore & before attempting the upgrade?

The upgrader only works on fully working environments - all settings & credentials must reflect the new location & db.

However, I think the tooltips do not work on mobile. Are you planning on updating the mod to accommodate on touch tooltip display on mobile as well?

Wow, that was fast and yeah, you are right. Your link worked as expected on my mobile phone as well. I uninstalled some of my mods that might have interfered with that on my local server but it wasn't effective. I'll just try a clean installation and then check step-by-step to see where things go wrong. I may not do it quickly as I would be kinda' busy, but would let you know when I test it.

SMF 2.1.x Support / Custom Fields for Custom Stats

Last post by M45T3R5W4G3R - Yesterday at 04:24:56 PM

Hey all, it is kind of a niché issue but wanted to ask anyway. I used to host a forum RPG back in the day using SMF 2.0.18 and after a while I am considering to reopen another one with SMF 2.1.4. Since the forum is focused on play-by-post RPGs and each account would actually be a character profile, I want to assign custom stats to characters. How I used to achieve it was through the two steps below (sharing it so both the problem could be understood and also people with similar forums may utilize this approach):

• Disable +/- karma for standard users, rename it to XP, and when users make XP purchases for stats, one of the admins manually adds negative karma. XP (renamed karma) is also given to good RPs or as quest rewards etc.
• Create custom profile fields to utilize user stats. When an item or dice roll requires stats to be used, do a database lookup from the themes table to find the value of the specific cust_field for the user with ID, convert it to an INT, and use it as an arithmetic modifier.

These two worked well but required a heavy PHP work to implement and still lacked significant automation as if a person purchased a stat with XP, XP had to be reduced from profile manually, and custom field for the stat had to be increased manually as well.

In SMF 2.1.x, I observe the infrastructure for the custom fields is the same as 2.0.x. And also it seems like we cannot just give or take karma with + or - buttons. So... I was wondering if anyone faced a similar issue or has any suggestions on implementing such a system through GUI elements, if possible. I'd appreciate any kind of inputs regarding this.
